If you submit an application via mail, you should be notified within one to two weeks.
Early application submission is advised to secure your place in the program and to increase your chances of obtaining your #1 university choice.
To apply to a Study Australia program, please follow the steps below. Our preference is that applications be submitted via our VAM.
• Step 1: Complete Study Australia Application. Submit your application using our Virtual Application Manager or, if necessary, the downloaded application form. Please review our catalog or Programs to determine your preferred location and university. Your selection can be modified, but please nominate at least one university on your application.
• Step 2: Submit $30 Application Fee.
Submit your application fee by credit card on-line through your VAM or you may submit a check or certified bank draft made payable to Study Australia.
• Step 3: Provide Official Academic Transcripts.
